Running a race requires the proper attire: ankle-supporting shoes, a sweat-wicking shirt, and loose-fitting pants to conceal the mini jetpacks strapped to your ankles. Get your adrenaline soaring with this Groupon.

The Deal

Adorned in white T-shirts, runners convene at Rembert Farm for the Color Me Rad 5K race. Starting at 9 a.m., racers run headlong toward the finish line in waves and get pelted by plumes of vibrant paint every five minutes. A portion of the proceeds benefits March of Dimes Florida.

Color Me Rad

Color Me Rad is back and better than ever with its 2017 tour, staging 5K races that transform runners into mobile rainbows by launching cheerful barrages of colored cornstarch and a whole new color. Each color station along the racetrack flings a new pigment at passersby, who wear white shirts to enhance the chromatic onslaught's costuming effects. Brilliant neon-blue, green, purple, and yellow clouds dapple participants along the way, and the race concludes with a prismatic finish-line finale as sprinters chuck colors at each other in celebration. The race's noncompetitive credo shifts the emphasis from speed to silliness, and a portion of its proceeds go to local charities.

Upon registration, each runner collects a Color Me RAD free t-shirts, a RAD temporary tattoo, and a pair of RAD sunglasses for all regular participants. Also, all runners will receive access to free professional digital photo downloads. Though they don't receive a gift packet, runners who are 7 years old and younger can run for free.
